Sandy63 is SO right, getting on the same page with your child as far as his or her lunches go is the ticket! My son isn't the throwing food away type, he's the put it back in his pack back and let it sit there until it grows it's own civilization type. He can't bring himself to throw it away, because he knows that's wasting, but he doesn't really want to eat it either, lol. I asked my son, why didn't you eat
that, "I dunno", is usually the answer. Which tells me I was packing food he didn't want to eat.
So now I ask him "If I put raisins in your lunch, will you eat them?" Which usually gets a big yes! So I buy a box of raisins and split them up into individual containers. My son has also brought home other kids' food that they won't eat, which drives me crazy, "Honey, please don't..." I swear I could almost stop grocery shopping with the amount of food he could bring home if I'd let him. Milks, fruit, sandwiches, snack bars, you name it, he's brought it home.
Don't worry so much about what other kids are eating, teach your child to be an individual and you won't have to worry about that. Worry about what your kid is throwing away or trading away (or growing in his backpack, lol), because you're not really saving money if he or she isn't eating it. They're not eating nutritiously if they're trading away all the wonderful food you're slaving over. Get your kids input on lunch, because once again as Sandy63 said, you'd be SHOCKED how much of it is ending up in the garbage. ... View related article.
The main thing I do now is I try to drive the speed limit, I was never much of a speeder before, would usually do what most people do, around 5 or so over. It really amazed me though how much gas I save driving just a little slower! I'm still making about the same time to work. I actually heard recently that you would have to drive 120mph to save yourself 5 minutes, maybe it's true... ... View related article.
My mother passed away 6 weeks after being diagnosed with a similar cancer (hers was lung cancer that metastasized to her brain), and we just did whatever we could to make her as happy and comfortable as we could. If she wanted ice cream for dinner, which was her favorite food, then so be it! I bought her a half gallon of chocolate a couple days before she passed and just let her eat as much as she wanted, it sounds like nothing, but that was the last time we laughed together. Just try to treat your friend to some fun, anything she enjoys, so for even just a little while she doesn't have to think about "it". Being a friend will mean more to her in the long run than anything you can do for her. You could take her out to dinner or cook her dinner! ... View related article.
We just went through a similar problem, our older cat wasn't urinating around the house, but we thought they might kill each other. They mellowed out and are now the best of friends, it took a couple weeks though. However, this could also be a bladder infection and a coincedence on the timing of the new kitten. I would suggest calling your vet and find out their thoughts. Hope I've helped. ... View related article.
